Err...I can assure you that the practice of Hindus drinking cow piss is limited to a very small group of people (if any). My entire family is Hindu and they don't know of one person that drinks cow piss. It's f*cking disgusting.

I call BS on that. We have a Hindu student in our class and he said Hindu's drink it to purify themselves and Cow's piss is also mixed in some Holy(i forgot it's name) river in which millions of hindu's ever year take bath to purify themselves.

I call BS on your BS. The Hindu student you're talking to is most probably a f*cking idiot. First off, Hindus don't drink it to purify themselves. If they do, it is a very very small minority. Secondly, cow's piss is not intentionally mixed into the Ganga/Ganges river but you can't stop a cow from pissing in the river when it's in there. People do bathe in the river to "purify" their soul but not for the sole intention of absorbing cow piss.

I just watched a news story this morning showing Hindu preists throwing small babies and children off the ledge of a building into a sheet that people had stretched out. They say it helps protect them from being harmed in the future. Moral of the story, they do some odd things apparently.

Morarji Desai used to drink a cup of his own urine daily. \/\/

Yes. My understanding is that the cow is seen as a mother figure because of the milk she provides. There may be other reasons.

Odd things like dunking people in water and pretending a stale wafer is the body of Christ? Those kinds of odd things?

how about white anglo-americans and their tobacco and alcohol habits? lethal habits that they've spread to the world? that's arguably more disgusting than a handful of people who drink bull piss once in a while -- if anyone even actually does that, which i doubt. on any large scale, at least.

Milk a substance created by nature to turn baby cows into 400 pound beasts. Im not surprised you would make an exception for yourself though that s just typical.

What the heck are you talking about man? First of all, I'm not here to bash your religion. I'm simply pointing out the fact that your comparison of milk and urine is pretty lame. There's a reason why the body excretes the stuff, you know.

"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38,39

I don t have a religion. I don t know much about Hinduism but it doesn t sound any more bizarre than any other religion. I also don t think drinking cows milk is normal, whether you can compare it to urine or not is not the point. It s still gross.

If drinking cow's urine and throwing babies from building tops into sheets "doesn't sound any more bizarre than any other religion", then you need to have your head examined.

And just for kicks, if necessary for survival, which would you drink - milk, or some cow's urine?

Animal urine has the potential to become a new source of valuable hormones and other human drugs, according to Agricultural Research Service and cooperating scientists.

ARS and New York University researchers have developed transgenic mice that produce, in the lining of their bladders, human growth hormones that accumulate in the urine. This model system, the scientists say, shows that the approach could be used in larger animals that produce more urine

so typical of snobs like you to make exceptions for yourself. confessing your sins to a guy in a box is weird, just because you re accustomed to the idea doesn t make it any less weird.

Oh hey Heeey. If it makes you feel better, I think most if not all religions have very odd practices. I just found it especially odd that in Hinduism they think its ok to throw a baby off a ledge and potentially harm, kill or permanently disable it.
